BICYCLE CARE

BASIC MAINTENANCE

The following procedures will help you maintain your hybrid electric bicycle for years of enjoyable riding.
1. After initial set up be sure to check wheel spokes to make sure they are properly fitted. Be sure to check again after a few rides to ensure proper break in.
Follow up with monthly checks.
2. Properly maintain the batteries by keeping them fully charged when not in use.
3. Do not ride your hybrid electrical bicycle in the water (damp roads, puddles, rain, streams, etc.) and never immerse it in water as the electrical system may be
damaged.
4. Periodically check the wiring and connectors to ensure there is no damage and the connectors have good continuity.
5. For painted frames, dust the surface and remove any loose dirt with a dry cloth. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth soaked in a mild detergent mixture. Dry with a cloth
and polish with car or furniture wax. Use soap and water to clean plastic parts and rubber tires. Chrome plated bikes should be wiped over with a rust preventative
fluid.
6. Store your bicycle under shelter. Avoid leaving it in the rain or exposed to corrosive materials.
7. Riding on the beach or in coastal areas exposes your bicycle to salt which is very corrosive. Wash your bicycle frequently and wipe or spray all unpainted parts with
an anti-rust treatment. Make sure wheel rims are dry so braking performance is not affected. After rain, dry your bicycle and apply anti-rust treatment.
8. If paint has become scratched or chipped to the metal, use touch up paint to prevent rust. Clear nail polish can also be used as a preventative measure.
9. Regularly clean and lubricate all moving parts, tighten components and make adjustments as required.
10. The use of alloy components and BED, SATIN and TITANIUM surface treatments minimizes the number of places where rust can surface
